Red Tail Grains

farm & mill & bakery

We specialize in heritage and modern grains for local bakeries, breweries, and consumers. Located in Orange County, North Carolina, we farm with a holistic and systems approach that excludes the use of herbicides, fungicides, and synthetic fertilizers. 2024 will be our ninth year harvesting winter and summer cereals with varieties ranging from Turkey Red Heirloom Wheat to Cateto Orange Flint Corn. We mill our grains year-round on our New American Stone Mill and use our fresh flours to bake delicious baked goods, with the main goal of inspiring our customers to use regional grains.

We sell freshly-ground, stone-milled flours, cornmeals, baked goods, and other products at the Carrboro Farmers Market, the Durham Farmers Market, and the Cobblestone Farmers Market (Winston Salem), every Saturday. You can also find our products at the River’s Finest market stand at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on Saturdays. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up-to-date with our latest doings. Visit our online shop to make a pre-order for pickup or for shipping options.
